Article Synopsis
  • Colorectal Carcinoma (CRC) is increasingly diagnosed in children, with this report focusing on a rare case of a 14-year-old boy who presented symptoms such as constipation, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed significant rectal abnormalities, and a biopsy confirmed the presence of Signet Ring Adenocarcinoma, leading to a treatment plan involving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed by surgery.
  • The case highlights the urgency for improved CRC screening methods in children and supports the use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in adolescents, emphasizing that the benefits far surpass the associated risks.

However, standard imaging methods often fail to detect communicating hole locations.

Most patients harbor pathological variants of the RET gene. Herein, we present the first case of a 14 year-old boy who experienced small intestinal volvulus along with a megacolon, and he was diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B.
